Application control, or what some people call application safe listing, is a relatively new security method that we can put in place for many organizations that allows us a more discreet level of control at the device level. So, what is application control? It’s really a way for us to keep individuals or users on your network or your corporate-owned or organizational-owned systems from installing software that’s not authorized or making changes to software that’s not authorized.
More than Security Controls
However, the secondary protection, more so than keeping the users from making those changes, is to keep the bad actors from making those changes. Suppose your user were to fall victim to a phishing email. For example, they click on a malicious link that’s trying to download a piece of malicious software or make changes to the coding on the system—whether it’s at the Windows level or something else.
In that case, the application control software can prevent that from happening and can also alert the security team in real-time so that we can respond faster and avoid a widespread event.
